Jennifer Moreen suffered her first heart attack at age 38 due to undiagnosed Fibromuscular Dysplasia (FMD). After placement of 6 coronary stents at the age of 40 she has devoted her life to helping others. At age 39 Kari Ulrich was training for a 1/2 marathon when she developed symptoms that led to the diagnosis of FMD. Together Jennifer & Kari Ulrich founded Midwest Women's Vascular Advocates.
